I'm not sure what to call this maybe Mini omelettes or mini Spanish Tortillas or a Rice Patties? I not sure. But when it comes down to it I think that Friday's breakfast magic should be donned 'Left-Over Amazingness' with a Cucumber Salad :)How did the recipe pop in my head? Well it came from a combination of influences, but on Friday morning while getting ready for the day I had some serious inspiration. I was thinking about all the things that were in the refrigerator and all the ingredients started singing and dancing in my head and boom! This is what happened..Magic! :D
Left-Over Amazingness
I sauted chopped onions and shredded carrots <-- largely shredded together.Then I threw in some jalepenos...for spiceA 1/2 cup leftover of potato stew.A wee bit of chopped hamThen a wee bit of chopped-up omelet from the day before.Then 1 or 2 cups of left-over riceSaute and saute some more... add oil and water and salt until things are cooked/taste to your likingNext I took 3 eggs and beat them in a big bowlThen I added the rice saute mixture to the egg bowl, and mixed and mixed and.added fresh green onions. and mixed it up.Heated a saute pan with Olive OilAnd scooped out cute mini omelet rice patties to sizzle in the pan until brown on each side...(I also covered the pan with a lid for a couple of minutes to let the steam cook the insides ) :) Next time I think I might put tofu or sweet potatoes or maybe cheese. Any more ideas? Mushrooms, perhaps?
Cucumber Salad
For the salad everything goes in one bowl.. Easy, easy!
I shredded 2 cucumbers in a bowl.
Minced 1 jalepeño.
Shredded 1/2 an Apple
Salt
Juice of a small orange or clementine
Bites sized pieces of an orange
Put my favorite dressing Sesame Dressing
A little bit of Yellow Mustard
Mix, Mix, and Taste for more spice, sweet or salt, and then plate.
Plating goes like this... = 2 Leaves of Lettuce, 2 Omelet Patties, a small mountain of salad, and garnish with Apple slices, and drizzle with extra dressing or Olive Oil... Enjoy! :)
Try this with your own leftover and tell me what different things you create! :D
